Do not eat poorly cooked food. Avoid unsanitary areas. Recognize accidental transmission.

You don’t want to clog up the blender by filling it completely with rice. Smaller amounts will let the blade work more efficiently and grind the rice better.  A good rule of thumb to follow is that 1 cup (240 ml) of rice yields about 1 1⁄2 cups (350 ml) of rice flour.  You can use either white or brown rice, as long as it’s raw and uncooked. Turn the blender on the highest setting to get the best results. The flour should be smooth and there shouldn’t be any large chunks.  Grinding rice is hard on your blender's blades. If you plan on making a lot of flour, invest in a higher quality blender that's more durable. The finer the flour, the better it will work in baking and other recipes. Any air that leaks into a container that's not properly sealed can cause the flour to spoil faster. Either a plastic or glass container or jar will work. If you use a resealable bag, squeeze out any excess air before you seal the bag. While flour can keep for a very long time, it tends to get musty or stale after 1 year. Throw it away if you see mold or notice a foul scent.  To keep track of when the flour needs to be thrown out, use a permanent marker or a sticker label to note the date you should throw it out by. This will be 1 year from the day you made it. If you have different types of flour in your pantry, you may also want to write “rice flour” on the label. Keeping the flour in the refrigerator or the freezer will help the flour last longer.

TL;DR in English: Place 1 to 2 cups (240 to 470 ml) of rice in your blender at a time. Cover the blender and grind the rice until it’s a fine powder consistency. Transfer the flour to an airtight container and place the lid tightly on it. Store the flour in the pantry for up to 1 year until you’re ready to use it.

Think happiness. Talk happiness. Give people compliments. Do favors. Be generous and kind. Everything you do to others, you will receive. What you focus on and do to others, you are brining into your own life. Be happy! There are many things you can do to heighten your frequency.  Spend more times doing the things that you like. Think about good memories you've had with friends and family. Spend time with the ones you love! Experience things you've always wanted to do! Listen to happy and joyful music that you really like! Watch funny videos and movies! Your reality is created by the images you have in your mind - the Universe doesn't understand words. It is often easier to conjure up images that move. When you want to visualize, think of your five senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Keeping these things in mind while wishing is important. The visualization should feel so real that you feel completely surrounded by it. When you visualize, concentrate - really concentrate - on the things that you want. Then, when you're done, you must act and think like you have received it. It's yours. All you have to do is to wait for the opportunity for it to arrive. Don't get too caught up, though - if you dwell too much on it, you might begin to think and feel negativity around it. Do you want money? Feel like you've just won 1,000,000 dollars! Do you want to find your soulmate? Then allow the feeling of love towards this person - this person that's about to come into your life - fill you up! Shape your own life, do the thing you would've done if you had already received your wish! If you do it right, it's already on it's way - all you have to do is to believe it already is yours. The secret to success using the Law is believing. Believing is your job. The Universe will take care of everything else. If you feel doubtful, start with something small. In your mind, create a picture of one particular kind of leaf, rock, feather, etc. - something small. Make this thing unique, so unique that when you first see it,...

TL;DR in English: Glow with positivity. Learn to visualize. Shift your entire existence in order to receive everything you want. Believe! Love yourself. Practice meditating to make yourself feel better. Spend time every day in the GAP. Incorporate religion.

No matter where you live or are traveling to, you should avoid food that is poorly cooked as it increases your risk of food poisoning and other causes of infection. Poorly cooked food may be major conduit of H. Pylori because the food is not heated to a temperature high enough to kill the bacteria. This can be hard to detect, but if your food is cold or raw, avoid eating it because it could possibly be a carrier of the bacteria.   Avoid food that has been inadequately cleaned, like vegetables, or handled, like meats and fish. Improperly cleaned and mishandled foods also increase the risk of all types of foodborne infection. You should also cook any food you make yourself to a high temperature as well. Since you may not know where all the food came from that you are cooking, you need to be certain you cook it well. This way you can avoid contaminating yourself with the bacteria as well. Like most bacterial infections, one of the major ways that the H. Pylori bacteria may be transmitted is through unsanitary conditions. This includes food and beverage production, living conditions, and activity areas as well. Food that is cooked in a poorly sanitized setting can transmit the bacteria from one individual to another. Avoid roadside locations or food carts where it is evident that there is no proper facilities for hand washing or cleaning utensils.  You should also avoid living arrangements near unclean water sources, sewage locations, and other areas where unclean and dirty water may be prevalent. Avoid places where people don't use gloves, where there are inadequate restroom and cleaning facilities, or places where workers touch money and other people and then handle food or merchandise. Another way that the bacteria may be transmitted is through the fecal-oral route or the oral-oral route. This means that food, water, and objects are contaminated with the bacteria because of poor sewage practices and poor hygiene. Since many individuals do not know they are carrying the bacteria, it can easily be transferred...

Genogram templates are available online or you can start from scratch and fill one out by hand. You can also purchase software programs designed specifically for creating genograms. The symbols act as a visual indicator of the information you gathered in your interviews. You can draw the standard genogram symbols by hand or by using the "draw" or "shapes" options in a word processing program.  Males are indicated by a square. When indicating a marriage, position the male symbol to the left. Women are indicated by a circle. When indicating a marriage, position the female symbol to the right. A single horizontal line indicates marriage and two slanted lines separation. The oldest child is always below and to the left of his family, whereas the youngest should be below and to the right. Other available symbols help you describe family events such as pregnancy or miscarriage, illnesses and deaths. There is even a diamond symbol to represent pets. For example, you may decide to start your genogram with your grandparents or even your great grandparents. Genograms can be used to show the diversity in family relationships as well as patterns of illnesses.  A genogram includes symbols to indicate family interactions such as conflict, closeness, estrangement, etc. Emotional relationships have specific symbols that help keep the flow of the genogram clear. There are also symbols that denote sexual and physical abuse as well as mental and physical disorders. Once you've made the genogram, look carefully to see what patterns can be identified. There may be hereditary patterns or particular psychological tendencies that are very noticeable when grouped together in this way.  Be careful about making assumptions. The data is one thing, but avoid using it to confirm that your family has a particular disease, or mental issue. Talk to a medical professional about any potential for hereditary problems of this type. Avoid using the genogram to make assumptions about the motivations of family members as well, or using this to...

TL;DR in English: Design your genogram. Use standard genogram symbols to represent family members and relationships, both normal and dysfunctional. Organize the chart based on family interactions beginning with the oldest generation you want to represent at the top. Look for patterns.

Use equal parts water and equal parts school glue to create a watered down mixture. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap or wax paper to protect the surface of the bowl and mix your solution with a disposable utensil. Mix as much solution as you think you'll need depending on the size and amount of sand dollar shells you have. Like a baking sheet or large plate with wax paper and lay your dry shells on it. Place your shells with the rounded side facing up. Make sure to space your shells an inch or so apart. Using wax paper allows for an easy clean up. Use a soft paintbrush to paint the rounded top side of your shells first. Try to avoid touching the shell with your fingers, this can leave smudges in the glue. Allow the glue to completely dry before flipping the shells over and painting the underside.  Painting your shells with this glue mixture will harden the shells, which will help them last longer. Maintain a clean work area to ensure dirt and debris don’t get stuck to the sand dollars. This method will create a dull natural finish for your sand dollars.

TL;DR in English: Prepare your solution. Lay your shells on wax paper. Paint glue on your sand dollar.

Sleep is crucial for your mental and physical health, and not getting enough can make your depression worse. When you’re in college, it can be hard to get the sleep you need. Most young adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night to be at their healthiest.  Schedule time for sleep the same way you would for studying and other obligations. Try to create a consistent schedule for when you go to bed and when you wake up. Make sure that you have some downtime before you go to bed every night. Spend a little time doing something peaceful, like reading a book, taking a warm shower, or doing a little meditation. Avoid using your phone or computer right before going to bed, since the light from the screen can make it more difficult for you to fall asleep. Eating and drinking the right things can boost your mood, help you concentrate, and help you sleep better. It is also important to avoid foods and drinks that can aggravate symptoms of depression.  Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B12 and folates, like lentils, almonds, spinach, chicken, and fish. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D, which is often added to milk, juices, and breakfast cereals. Eat plenty of fish, or look for foods fortified with omega-3 fatty acids. Avoid foods that are high in refined sugars, like sugary desserts and sodas. Avoid drinking too much caffeine. While it can temporarily boost your energy, it can also disrupt your sleep cycle and make you feel nervous or irritable. While having a drink or two with your friends now and then can be a fun way to socialize and blow off steam, drinking too much alcohol can have a negative impact on your mood and your health. Excessive drinking can leave you feeling sick and tired, disrupt your sleep, and make your depression symptoms worse. It can also lead to more serious health problems, including liver disease, gastrointestinal problems, and cardiovascular disease. If you feel that your drinking is having a serious impact on your health, your relationships, or your ability to do your work, or if you...

Burberry makes scarves for both men and women. You can pick any scarf from either line regardless of your gender, but keep in mind that the size, patterns, and materials used for women's scarves are easier to pair with most women's clothing, while those used for men's scarves are easier to pair with most men's clothing.  Women's scarves are available in rectangular and square styles. There are also poncho and wrap style scarves, as well as short fur collars. “Heritage” style scarves tend to present subdued, classic looks. Men's scarves are also available in rectangular and square styles. There are also long blanket style scarves, as well as "heritage" style scarves, which tend to have a more classic appearance, just as they do in the women's line. There is no single material used for Burberry scarves. Some are softer and more elegant, while others are a little more durable. The type of material you choose can change the overall tone of your ensemble.  Women's scarves come in cashmere, silk, and fur. There are also blends that combine one or more of these materials with other materials, like wool, linen, or cotton. Men's scarves come in cashmere, wool, linen, cotton and silk. Note that light, flowing materials like cashmere and silk tend to create a more elegant appearance. Fur is also a luxurious material. Wool, linen, cotton, and their blends still have chic and class, but they do tend to look a little less formal and may seem more versatile. The color and print will also change the tone of your ensemble. Classic prints are usually easier to pair with other clothes, but statement prints can add greater flair and personality to your look.  The checkered pattern is one of the most classic prints for both men and women. It can be found in range of colors, including everything from bold reds to neutral tans.  You can also find solid prints, especially if you look in the heritage scarf collection. Other patterns you might find can include abstract combinations of straight and curved lines, ruffles, large florals,...

Spend some time thinking about your contributions to the company over the past year or so (or since your last raise, if you’ve had one). Write down anything that you think is significant. For example, consider whether you have:  Successfully completed any important projects. Saved the company money or helped increase revenue. Performed above and beyond what was expected of you. Gotten positive feedback from clients, customers, or supervisors. Find out about the typical salary range of other people in similar positions, with similar levels of experience, to yours. Ask around among colleagues to get an idea of how much they are making. You can also consult with your company’s Human Resources department, or check out websites like http://www.payscale.com/ or https://www.glassdoor.com/. Once you have done your research, decide on a reasonable amount to ask for. Make your target salary as specific as possible.  Managers are more receptive to specific numbers than ballpark figures. For example, rather than giving a range from $40,000-$45,000, ask for $43,500. Keep in mind that the average raise is between 1% and 5% of an employee’s current salary. Factor this in when deciding on your target salary.

Marinate the chicken. Heat the bacon and olive oil. Fry the chicken pieces. Cook the garlic and onions. Add the tomatoes. Add the fish sauce, water, and bay leaves. Let simmer. Add the potatoes and carrots. Add the bell peppers. Toss in the peas and bacon pieces. Serve hot.

Rub the sandpaper in circles, pressing firmly. Sand a little beyond the original damage, even if it means peeling away a small amount of clear coat that is still in decent condition.  If the pigmented paint below the clear coat is still in good shape, don’t scrub so hard that you remove it as well. If the clear coat is already gone, skip this initial sanding and go straight to wet sanding and cleaning. Use 2000 grit sandpaper that’s been soaking in water for an hour. Smooth out the transition lines between your repair area and the surrounding clear coat. Keep the sandpaper wet by dipping it in water as needed. Straighten out or square off the work area when you can, as this will make it easier to tape off the area later. Use an alcohol-based cleaner, like glass cleaner, to clean the area you just sanded. Follow this up with a solvent-based paint prep cleaner, which will either come with your chosen clear coat repair kit or be found alongside the clear coat sprays. These pads are similar to the ones you might use on your dirty pots and pans in the kitchen, and are available at automotive supply retailers. Don’t use steel wool or sandpaper. You just want to give the pigmented paint a slightly rough texture.  Clean the area afterward with the solvent-based cleaner. Skip this step if the paint is already scuffed up from your earlier sanding. Stick the tape to your pants and peel it away once or twice to make it less sticky. Create a taped-off area around the removed clear coat that's slightly larger than the actual damaged area. Use plastic sheeting and more tape to expand the outside of the protective zone, so that your clear coat spray only lands on the car where intended. Shake the can as instructed on its label. Also refer to the label for the optimal spraying distance and motion. Keep moving as you spray so that you create an even layer. Let this first coat dry for at least 5 minutes, or for the time recommended on the can. You may be instructed to go over each dried coat with very fine sandpaper (e.g., 1500...

TL;DR in English: Scrub the damaged area with 1000 grit sandpaper. Wet sand the transition between your work area and the remaining clear coat. Clean the clear coat-free area with alcohol and solvent-based cleaners. Scuff the cleaned area with a fine grit, woven scuffing pad. Tape off the work area with easy-to-remove masking tape. Spray the aerosol can of clear coat onto the surface. Apply a second layer of clear coat in the same manner. Blend in the repaired area with the surrounding car finish.

To organize electronic files, you should create folders that clearly explain your organizational method. You can organize files by employee, in which case you’ll have a folder with the employee’s name that contains all of the related documents. Within the employee’s folder, you can include other sub-folders to further assist organization (for example, “performance evaluations”). Alternatively, you can choose to organize them by file type, in which case you’ll have a folder with the document type as the label (like “performance evaluations” or “application materials”) and include each employee’s information in a clearly labeled sub-folder. It doesn’t matter which organizational method you choose – it all boils down to your personal preference. When organizing electronic personnel files, it’s crucial that you label files correctly and clearly. Anyone who accesses the files should be able to understand the label that you assign the file.  Make sure to label employee names consistently: “Last name, First name.” An example of a clearly labeled document could be “Smith.John.PerformanceEvaluation.April2017.” This file name tells you the employee’s name, the type of document, and the date. An example of an unclearly labeled document could be “SmithEvaluationApril.” This file name tells you the employee’s last name, but this could be confusing if there is more than one employee with the last name “Smith.” It also doesn’t clearly indicate what type of evaluation or the year, only the month. This will help prevent files from being lost or misplaced, and allow people to find them easily when necessary. All electronic personnel files should be backed up in hardcopy paper form, on another hard drive, or on a secured cloud storage. You don’t want to lose all of your personnel files if something happens to your system or the computer you’re storing the information on. Backups should be performed regularly to ensure that all personnel files are always maintained and protected. A good rule of thumb is to back up your files...

Combine the soy sauce and black pepper in a large glass dish. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Let soak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.  Use a glass or plastic dish. Do not use a metal dish to marinate the chicken. If you do not have a large glass or plastic dish, you could also combine the marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Try to use a freezer bag or a marinade bag, since either option will be durable enough to hold the heavy chicken without developing leaks. While chicken thighs and drumsticks are preferable for this recipe, you could also use a whole chicken cut into pieces. Keep the skin on and the bones in. Just be aware that white meat can cook faster than dark meat. Pour the olive oil into a large Dutch oven and add the bacon pieces. Cook the bacon on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until it becomes brown and crispy.  Remove the bacon pieces and transfer them to a plate. Set aside and keep warm. You need to let the bacon render its fat. This will give the dish more flavor. If you do not have bacon or would prefer not to use it, you could double the amount of oil you use, instead, and leave the bacon out entirely. If you do not have a Dutch oven, you could also use a large, heavy stockpot with deep sides. Remove the chicken pieces from the soy sauce marinade. Add them to the hot oil and fry for 4 to 8 minutes, or until well-browned on all sides.  Let the excess marinade drain from the chicken before you add it to the hot oil. Dispose of the marinade after removing the chicken. Do not attempt to reuse it, since marinades holding raw meat can become tainted with hazardous bacteria. Turn the chicken pieces periodically using tongs to ensure that all sides are evenly browned. Once browned, transfer the chicken to another plate. Set it aside and keep warm. Add the chopped garlic and onions to the oil in the Dutch oven. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and both ingredients become more fragrant.  Stir the onion and garlic...

If you are sexually active, you can prevent syphilis by limiting your number of sexual partners. Your risk of contracting syphilis goes up with the number of sexual partners you have. Sexually active people who have only one partner in a monogamous relationship are safest, as long as neither partner has sex with anyone else. For some people, however, this might be unrealistic. Therefore, try to limit your number of sexual partners. f you have more than one sex partner, your risk of STIs (including syphilis) increases. The more partners you have, the greater the risk. Practicing abstinence will reduce your chances of getting syphilis to nearly zero. The sex conversation is always an uncomfortable conversation, but it is one of the best ways to avoid contracting STIs (or STDs), like syphilis. Before you engage in sexual activity with a new partner, take time to talk with them about your sexual history, as well as their sexual history. You can make the conversation less awkward and accusatory by initiating the conversation and offering to relate your sexual history first.  You can initiate the conversation by saying, “Hey, I am really attracted to you, and I would like to take our relationship to the next level. Before we venture down this path, however, I would like to tell you about my sexual history and the last time I got tested.” Tell them about your sexual history, and ask them about theirs. Then suggest that you both get tested before having sex. Your partner might be resistant and respond with something like, “I haven't been tested, but I know I don't have any diseases.” You can respond by telling them, “Some people don’t even know they have an STI, like syphilis, because symptoms can be dormant. This doesn't mean I don't trust you or I think you are lying to me, but there's no way to really know for sure unless you are tested.” the right way. It is important to use condoms when engaging in sexual activities. What is more important, though, is knowing how to use condoms the right way. Every time you...

Cut rectangular pieces of fabric from outgrown clothing and blankets, and sew them together to make a quilt. Some children really enjoy touching the various textures and seeing all of the different colors and patterns, even if they don’t remember wearing or using the items themselves.  If parts of the clothes are too small – like socks – sew them onto one of the other patches. These quilts make excellent heirlooms. Consider keeping a record of which patches came from where. Baby clothes make excellent clothing for larger dolls and stuffed toys. To make new doll clothes from outgrown baby clothes, simply measure the doll, cut a piece of fabric from the old clothing, and cut slits for the neck, sleeves, and pant legs. Then sew the parts together. Old cloth diapers, cotton blankets, and t-shirts can be used as cleaning rags. Bottles are marked with measurements, so you can easily use them for liquids during cooking and baking. Baby bottles can also be used to lubricate squeaky doors. Pour oil into an old baby bottle, and attach a nipple. Because it dispenses a small amount of liquid and easily fits into hard-to-reach areas, you can easily use this to lubricate door hinges. After doing so, move the door to the left and right to distribute the oil. If your child has outgrown the crib, you can repurpose it for a toddler. Remove the part of the crib with the bars, so that your child can climb in without any obstacles. Be sure to remove excess parts and redundant screws, and don’t let your child use the bed until you have sanded it smooth and repainted it. You can also convert a crib into a bench. Remove only one side, and take out the mattress. Replace the footer with a stronger board, and repaint it all in one color. Another use for an outgrown crib is a work table. Check to make sure the crib is the appropriate height. Remove the mattress and footer, and replace it with glass or a stronger board. If the table is too low, you can extend the legs of the crib and place the work surface above. Use the space beneath...

Select your cream cheese mixture. Mix the filling. Prepare the cucumber. Put the salad together. Cut the crusts off the bread and serve. Finished.

Slow down. Don’t push through the pain. Avoid difficult stretches.

A classic cucumber cream cheese sandwich is an elegant example of simplicity, relying only upon the creamy tanginess of cream cheese, paired with the crisp crunch of a cucumber housed between two pillowy pieces of white bread. There's nothing wrong with breaking from tradition now and again, though! Experiment with these different filling options:  Option #1: Mix 4 ounces cream cheese with 1-2 ounces of goat cheese. Mix in fresh lemon juice to taste (about 1-2 tablespoons), and salt and pepper to taste. Option #2: Mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill. Mix in fresh lemon juice to taste (about 1-2 tablespoons, but more if you'd like), and season with salt and pepper.  Option #3: For a zestier filling, mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Add in either 1-2 tablespoons of Ranch dressing OR about ½ packet of dry Ranch dressing seasoning mix (start with a small amount of  dressing—whether it's wet or dry—and increase as needed). Season with salt and pepper to taste, but know that you may need less salt with this filling mixture. Once you've selected your choice of filling, simply mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.  Make sure that the cream cheese has softened to room temperature, or you may have a difficult time getting a smooth texture. You may also mix the ingredients together in a stand mixer. Most recipes call for you to peel the cucumber. This is optional, though. If you like the flavor of the peel or like the added crunch it brings to your sandwich, leave them on.  If your cucumber has seeds, consider removing them. This will result in a crunchier final sandwich, but many chefs lament the loss of the flavor that the seeds/middle of the cucumber lends.   Slice the cucumbers very thinly. It's easiest to cut your cucumber into thin rounds, but some chefs prefer to cut the cucumber length-wise. You can also cut the cucumbers on a bias: Angle your knife forty-five degrees to your left (imagine a clock in front of you: place the tip of...

The pattern you’re laying your flooring in will affect how much you need. Measure the square footage of your floor (1 square meter is about 10.5 square feet). Then add 5-7% more square footage to account for waste if you’re laying your boards straight. Add 15% waste if you’re laying the floors in a herringbone pattern. There are plenty of places you can order your flooring from, such as home improvement stores, flooring wholesalers, and construction contractors can all order flooring for you. It's probably best to look at the flooring online or in-store before you decide on which flooring you want for sure. If you’ve chosen free-floating, or laminate, flooring, test fit 2 pieces by clicking them together. If it comes apart easily or doesn’t join securely, avoid it and purchase a different variety to avoid problems down the line. Open your boxes of engineered hardwood in the room where you’ll be installing it. Make sure the pieces are flat, not leaning against something, which could warm them. Allow the flooring to sit for 3 to 4 days in that room so it can acclimate to the temperature and moisture and expand or contract as necessary. If you’ve recently installed new drywall or plaster, wait at least a week before opening your boxes of hardwood. The moisture present in most basements and garages is bad for engineered hardwoods. It can warp the wood and permanently damage it.

Moving quickly into a stretch is a recipe for injury. Instead, always move your body with deliberate slowness, coaxing instead of forcing your body into the stretch.  Slowly moving your body into a stretch allows you to accurately monitor how far you can go before the stretch becomes painful.  If you move into a stretch too fast you won’t be able to tell precisely when the stretch became painful. This advice can seem counterintuitive since most physical activities require you to push into your limits if you want to make progress. With stretching, the opposite is true. “No pain, no gain” does not apply to stretching.  To find your limit, perform a stretch slowly and right up to the point where it hurts. Then, draw the stretch back until it no longer hurts. This is the sweet spot where you should hold the stretch. Over time, you will find that your limit moves further and further into the stretch. The goal of stretching is to become more flexible and feel more agile and comfortable in your body. If you practice stretches that tax your body and are very difficult or painful, you will reach the opposite result.  If you try a stretch and it is very difficult or painful, scrap it and substitute a different stretch. There are many ways to stretch every muscle in your body, so don’t worry if you’re unable to perform every stretch.

The way those needs are met (the services, practices and disciplines) may change and grow, but you can change and adapt with them. Do not feel compelled to choose only one skill or field. Think about how these areas might intersect in a way that makes sense for your passion or what you want to do. The more experience and knowledge you get about the fields you could be interested in the more you will find yourself gravitating toward a specific area. Each field has traditions, ideas, practices and knowledge you can learn and grow from from. You should always be challenging yourself intellectually. Make a habit out of reading the literature associated with your field. Start reading the books associated with the field that you are interested in. For example, you can read The Joy of Cooking, an influential and classic cookbook, if you love cooking. However, you can also read lots of great cooking blogs to become well informed about your passion. Every field, discipline or practice typically contains an active working community. If you live in a large enough city, there will be a group of people who are also pursuing the field(s) you are interested in. If you become close to these individuals, you can can find a...

TL;DR in English: Find out which skills you have that you want to give others. Actively learn about the fields you are interested in. Make friends with people in different field(s) you are interested in. Talk about your dreams with others. Ask for honest feedback. Make the path for where you want to end up. Revisit your decision about what you want.

Most fixtures will have an individual shut-off located beneath the fixture. It will likely be a chrome valve. Sinks and showers may have two valves, one for hot and one for cold.  Some appliances, such as washing machines, dish washers, and refrigerators, may have a water shut off switch on the body of the appliance or on the hose connecting the appliance to the wall. To find the shut off for a water heater, look for a water cutoff valve directly above the heater on a connected pipe. This will cut off the water to the fixture. If there are separate valves for hot and cold, you'll need to turn both off. Afterwards, you'll still be able to use running water in other fixtures or appliances throughout the rest of the home.  Old or dirty valves may be difficult to turn at first. If the valve is stubborn and won't turn easily, wear a work glove to protect your hand so you can turn with more force. Severe cases might require a wrench. With the valve closed, the water should be shut off. You'll need to drain water remaining in the line between the valve and fixture, so keep a bucket handy. When you are finished, turn the valve counter-clockwise restore the water supply. Gravity will cause excess water to drain. Position your bucket beneath the line or part you are repairing. When the fastener is loosened, water will drain into the bucket.

TL;DR in English: Locate the cutoff valve closest to the fixture. Turn the valve clockwise. Make any necessary repairs.

Put your foot or hand on the pedal and make the pedal rotate in order to show your child how the pedal works. Point out that when the pedal moves, the wheels also move. Let your child push the pedals with her hands so she can begin to get a feel for the movement. Hold the bike up while you do this so that the wheels can move freely and your child can see the bike in action. Have your child sit in a chair that is roughly the same height as the bike seat. Sit across from your child, facing her. Put your palms at the height of the pedals and have your child place a foot in each of your palms.  Now push your child’s feet up and down in the same movement that she would do if she was pedalling. Once she has gotten a feel for the movement, have your child ‘pedal’ with your hands. Ask your child to lie down on the floor. Lie down across from her so that the bottoms of your feet are touching the bottoms of her feet. Put your feet up in the air (with her feet still touching yours) and begin to pedal like you would on a bike. Have your child try to push your feet in a pedalling motion to help her gain the strength she will need to push the pedals on the real bike. Sit on your bike and slowly pedal so that your child can see how you move your legs (and how the wheels move because of the pedalling you are doing). Try to pedal slowly at first, and then more quickly as your child gains a better understanding of what you are doing. Bring your child to a park where other kids ride bikes. Watching her peers may help your child to compartmentalize the process of pedalling.

Mark key words and phrases. Doing so will help you determine what to address in your personal testimony. For instance, if the job advertisement includes a requirement for managerial experience, organizational skills, and familiarity with particular software, you will want to be sure to address these topics in your writing. If you are applying for more than one position, you may notice some overlap in the job requirements. At this point, it may be helpful to create a list that organizes the positions according to key words or phrases. In other words, make a list of positions categorized according to job requirements (e.g., managerial experience, organizational skills, and so forth). This list can serve as a guide later as you revise your personal testimony to fit each particular position. Start with the phrases you have highlighted and create a list of past work experiences that demonstrate your capability in these required areas.  If you have worked a lot during your university years or recent work experience, what have you learned (leadership or managerial skills, for example), and how has that work contributed to your growth? What are your career goals? Make a list of the skills you possess (e.g. leadership, verbal communication, analytical) and think of an example for each of those skills. Alternately, identify one example that relates to all (or the majority) of the skills you listed. You can also create a list of your personal characteristics (e.g. integrity, compassion, persistence) that would relate to the positions for which you are applying, as well as challenges that you have overcome. Be sure that you can clearly connect these personal attributes to a particular professional example. You’ll need to be able to demonstrate an instance when you were persistent or demonstrated compassion that connects to the job at hand. Itemizing your reasons for applying to a particular organization  or company will help you identify how your skill sets, goals, and experience align with those of the organization or...

Microsuede is used as a fabric for many items, including clothing, towels, drapes, and mops. These can all be cleaned easily, but handwashing is recommended. Using a spray bottle filled with alcohol or polyester cleaner, spray soiled areas and blot or dab the stains with a clean cloth. Before cleaning any fabric, always read all tag directions regarding proper washing instructions. Perform a small test patch on the fabric somewhere unnoticeable before applying any cleaning solution to the entire cloth. You only need the sink about half full or three-quarters of the way full, depending on how many items you'll be washing. As the water is running, mix in one-half to one ounce (one to two tablespoons) of liquid laundry detergent or mild soap. Wash your microsuede items one at a time. Tackle stubborn dirt with a soft-bristled brush.  Alternatively, you can wash microsuede items in the washing machine on the delicate or hand-wash cycle. Wash microsuede items alone together, as this material tends to collect lint from other fabrics.  Do not use bleach products or fabric softeners on microsuede. When your items are clean, squeeze each one to get out the water. Lay a clean, dry towel flat on a counter or table. Lay a microsuede item flat on top of the towel. Roll the towel up tightly with the item inside, and the towel will absorb the excess moisture. Unroll the towel and hang the item to air dry. Repeat with all your items, replacing the towel with a dry one if necessary. A dryer can be used on low-heat or a no-heat setting, but it’s best to hang microsuede fabric on a clothesline or on hangers to air dry.

TL;DR in English: Spot clean stains. Fill a sink with warm water. Dry the items.

Either cleaner can be used on the outer portion of the inside of the ear flap. The procedure for cleaning the ear is the same with a commercial ear cleaner as it is with the homemade version.  Mix a few tablespoons of vinegar and the same amount of rubbing alcohol together in a clean bowl. Make sure it is at room temperature prior to using, as no one, dogs included, likes cold fluid on their ears. This mixture is safe to use on the visible inner part of your dog’s ears. DO NOT use this mix if you suspect your dog has an ear infection and do not pour into the ear canal itself. There are many good all-purpose dog ear cleaners on the market. Ask your veterinarian for advice on what you can purchase locally. You can also ask for recommendations at your local pet supply store. A weekly ear inspection and cleaning (if necessary) would be a great schedule to adhere to and will help you keep on top of any potential ear health problems.  Dirt accumulates rather fast and can lead to an infection, especially with floppy-eared canines.

When you get wrapped up in all the grease and machismo floating around at the strip, it can be common to forget about the most essential part of drag racing: surviving it. Make sure that you're aware of everyone on the track, around it, and stay focused on completing the run with safety. If you feel unsure about racing, unconfident in your vehicle, or uncomfortable with the track conditions, pack it up for the day.  You need to always have your vehicle inspected before drag racing. Blowing out a tire going 120 mph (190 km/h) is extraordinarily dangerous, and turning out of a skid at those speeds can be deadly. Use extreme caution. The Snell Memorial Foundation was founded by William "Pete" Snell, an amateur auto racer who died in a racing event in 1956. His then supposedly state-of-the-art helmet failed to protect from passing away, and a number of his fellow racers, colleagues and friends came together in an effort to improve the design of helmets along with their capabilities. They're now considered the standard in the field. If you're going to drag race, you need one. The ideal time to shift is when the descending power curve for the lower gear crosses the ascending power curve for the higher gear. Most drag racers will use a tachometer to closely monitor the RPMs and feel for that sweet spot, just before the RPMs hit the red patch on the gauge.   Many drag racers will use a lighted tachometer, which will flash a light indicating the optimal time to shift. Great racers anticipate these lights, however, shifting perhaps 200 or 300 RPMs before the "ideal" time, to make the action slightly smoother. Drag racing in automatic transmission vehicles exists, but is less common. Manual transmission vehicles offer faster acceleration times if you can get the technique right. If you want to get into drag racing, practice your shifting in a manual transmission vehicle. If you want to really grip the track, you need to get some racing tires for your vehicle. Without tread, heading up bald tires will allow you to grip...

TL;DR in English: Always put safety first. Invest in a Snell-certified helmet. Shift at the correct times. Use bald racing tires inflated to the proper specs. Drive in the "groove" created by other racers' tire slicks.

Outdoor shuffleboard features a 52-foot-long (15.6 m-long) rectangular court with a triangular scoring area at either end. Have all of the players come and stand around the board. You will be using a cue to push the disks down the shuffleboard court. Disks are in 2 colors, usually yellow and black, with a diameter of 6 inches (15 cm) and a thickness from 9/16 to 1 inch (1.4 to 2.5 cm). The cue is a pole no longer than 6 1/2 feet (2 m), with a U-shaped prong on the pushing end. Have the players or teams alternate sliding their disks across the court until all of the disks are cast. Starting with the player with the yellow disks, players place their disks in the "10-off" section of the scoring area on their end of the court on their turn and shoot toward the opposite scoring triangle.  The yellow player's disks are launched on the left side of the court, and the black player's disks are launched from the right side. A player's cue cannot push past the scoring area when shooting a disk. Disks must cross the "dead line" 3 feet (0.9 m) in front of the opposite scoring area but must not hang off the edge of the court; disks that fail to cross or that hang are removed from the court. As in table shuffleboard, players try to knock their disks into the higher scoring areas and their opponents into lower scoring areas or out of play entirely. The triangular scoring area in outdoor shuffleboard is divided into 6 sections; a disk must be entirely inside one of these sections to score points. A disk in the apex of the triangle scores 10 points, a disk in either of the 2 areas behind the apex scores 8 points, and a disk in either of the 2 areas behind the 8-point area's scores 7 points. A disk that lands in the "10-off" section deducts 10 points from the score of the player or team who owns the disk.  Unlike table shuffleboard, outdoor shuffleboard assesses penalties for rule infractions. A disk that touches the 10-off area line before being played costs a player 5 points; if it touches one of the triangle's sides, the...

TL;DR in English: Gather the players at the shuffleboard court. Give each player or team 4 wooden disks and a cue. Take turns. Score the disks. Keep playing.

Pesos are preferred to the dollar when you tip in Mexico, but you can technically tip in dollars if necessary.  Offer a 10% to 15% tip to your server at a restaurant. At a hotel, give the porter 10 to 20 pesos per bag, the housekeeper 20 to 50 pesos per night, and the concierge 50 to 150 pesos per favor. Tour guides should receive 100 to 200 pesos per full day per person, but combined driver-guides should get 200 to 300 pesos. Gas station attendants should be tipped 5 pesos per fill-up. Policies concerning gratuities are similar in Canada when compared to the policies of the United States.  Offer 15% to 20% of the bill to your waiter at a restaurant. At your hotel, the concierge should get $10 to $20 per favor. Porters get $1 to $2 per bag. Housekeepers get $2 per day, or $5 per day at a luxury hotel. Tip taxi drivers 10% to 15% of the fare. Offer tour guides a collective 15% of the cost at the end of an excursion. Tipping costs are fairly cheap in Costa Rica, partially because of the fact that Costa Ricans are paid better than many other service providers in Central America.  Your restaurant tip is included in the bill, but you can offer something extra if desired. At a hotel, give $0.25 to $0.50 per bag to the porter or $1 per bag at a fine hotel. The housekeeper should get $1 per day. Taxi drivers receive a $2 to $4 tip for a long drive, or a $1 to $2 tip from a trip from the airport to your hotel. Tour guides receive $5 to $10 per person per day. On a boat ride, tip the captain $5 to $10. This will be distributed throughout the crew.

Allow your partner to live their truth. Explore the overlap in your core values. Define commitment for yourself.

Clap once. Pick up the cup. Move the cup to the right and set it down.

A mature relationship is free of judgments and unrealistic expectations, so you'll have to stop trying to change your partner. Committing means letting go of the idea that you are right and your partner is wrong. It's rarely either—you're just different. Show maturity by accepting and respecting those differences.  Give yourselves permission to keep being individuals because you'll only resent your partner if you give up your own opinions, interests, and goals for the relationship. For instance, don't work so hard to convince your partner to like your favorite types of music or food. The fact that you both have varying tastes keeps the relationship interesting and vibrant. While it's okay to disagree about small things, like how to launder darks, the two of you will be happier if you are on the same page about the big things. Your personal values—honesty, family, charity—should be similar or at least complementary.  Sit down and have a conversation about the important topics to come to an agreement. Mature partners know where their significant others stand on important issues like major career goals, whether you want to get married, whether you want kids, and where you want to live. You may not exactly agree, but you should be knowledgeable about your partner's values. If you do disagree about your partner's stance on major issues, like politics and religion, ask yourself if you can agree to disagree, or if this is a dealbreaker for you. Commitment in modern relationships means different things to different couples. Do you and your partner plan to be mutually exclusive in the relationship or are you okay with a more open, fluid relationship?  Have a conversation with your partner about what each of you wants in terms of long-term commitment. Others, such as friends and family, may not agree with your definition of commitment, but all that matters is that the two of you agree.

TL;DR in English: Allow your partner to live their truth. Explore the overlap in your core values. Define commitment for yourselves.

After at least 12 hours, wipe away the baking soda paste and grime from your oven surfaces. Use a damp dish cloth to remove this solid residue as best as possible.  You can use a plastic or silicone spatula to gently remove paste that may have become hardened or stuck in a hard-to-reach place.  Don't worry about getting oven surfaces completely clean and dry in this step. Focus on removing the built-up food and residue and most of the baking soda paste. Spray down the oven surfaces with water and wipe away any remaining residue of food stains or baking soda with a damp or dry cloth. You can also spray white vinegar for this step before wiping down.  If using vinegar, spray it lightly onto any areas that have some remaining  baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly from the resulting chemical reaction. Make sure to remove all signs of baking soda as best as possible before using your oven again. Baking soda left in contact with a heating element tends to smoke badly when the oven is turned on. Apply more baking soda and water/vinegar to let sit if stubborn stains still persist after the first application. You can apply baking soda to just the location of the stain if necessary.  You can try applying baking soda directly to a wet sponge or other scrubbing material to rub right on the stain for removal. If scrubbing is unsuccessful, re-treat with the baking soda paste overnight. Use another oven cleaning product if you wish, but the combination of baking soda, water, and 12+ hours to sit is typically effective for nearly all stubborn oven stains.

TL;DR in English: Wipe residue away with a damp cloth. Spray and wipe surfaces again. Repeat the process if necessary.

Clap above the cup again. Make sure you are still about six inches above the cup. However, this time, just clap once. Grasp the bottom of the cup with your right hand. Pick the cup up to hover about two to three inches above the table. Try to make an audible sound when grasping the cup. Move the cup about three inches to the right. Set the cup down, making another audible noise. The cup should still be rim down.

If you forget someone’s name but you need to introduce the person to your friend, you can be completely honest and claim you have a brain fog. Apologize for forgetting the person’s name and then say your brain is so foggy from dealing with all the appointments you have that day. Most people understand that a busy schedule and stress can make your brain foggy, so using this as the reason you’ve forgotten someone’s name is a legitimate reason. If you’ve forgotten someone’s name, a good way to get the person to say it is to introduce a friend of yours. Find a friend nearby and say, “Hey, I’d like to introduce you to my friend.” Say your friend’s name first and then wait to have the other person finish the introduction. For example say, “I’d like to introduce you to my friend Katie Gellar”, and the person should respond by saying something like, “Hi Katie, My name is Melanie Smith”. You can find out the name of a person by getting the person’s contact information. You can ask the person to put the information in your cell phone, and then glance at the new contact listing before putting your phone away. Another way to find out the person’s name is to ask for the person’s business card. Many people carry business cards with them which include their name and contact information. Tell the person you want to keep in touch and ask for a business card. Ask the person to spell their name to make sure you get it right.

To ensure your cat takes her time when she eats, pour her dry food on a flat surface, like a plate or a baking pan. This will force her to eat only a few pieces of dry food at a time and take smaller bites of her food. You can make or buy a puzzle feeder for your cat, which has the added bonus of providing mental stimulation. Your cat will need to work to get her food from the puzzle. This will prevent her from binge eating as the food will be dispensed in small amounts. You can purchase a puzzle feeder or make one by gluing cardboard tubes together in a grid and putting a few kibbles in each tube. One such feeder is a plastic ball with holes. You can put dry food inside the ball, and your cat can then play and try to eat the food as it falls through the holes. This will prevent her from binge eating and encourage her to use her hunting skills to get her meals. This will make your cat eat more slowly because she cannot simply scarf down her food. Instead, she has to practice lapping up her food slowly and swallowing before she can take another bite. An obstruction, like a golf ball or a ping pong ball, can force your cat to slow down when she eats as she will need to pause while eating to move the obstruction or eat around the obstruction. Make sure you use an object that your cat cannot swallow, like a golf ball or a ping pong ball. Many pet stores sell food bowls made for cats and dogs that have one big lump in the middle or several small lumps. These food bowls will help your cat get used to eating more slowly and to take smaller bites of food. An automatic feeder is set up so that as an owner you have control over how much your cat eats with the simple press of a button. Many feeders can be set on digital timers so you know exactly how much food your cat is getting at one time. There are also measurements on the feeder to help you determine how much food your cat will receive and to prevent over or under feeding your cat. You can set the feeder so your cat receives smaller portions of food throughout the...

If you've never disassembled your faucet before, you may not know what kind of washer you need. If you don't already have a replacement on hand, take the parts you removed to a hardware store. Find an exact match for each part.   You may be able to find a repair kit for your particular faucet instead of hunting down the o-rings and washer individually. If you're unsure where to look at the hardware store, ask an employee to help. You can simply slip the washer in place. From here, you're basically working in reverse order. The washer should fit the same as the one you removed. Make sure you place the washer in the exact same position as the original one. Either screw the stem back on, or place it back over the washer. Then, place the screw you removed back in place using your Phillips head screwdriver or allen wrench. Make sure you tighten the screw to get the stem secure. If you removed the handle, put it back in place before placing the screw back in place. This the easiest part of the process. You simply snap the cap back on. Now, your faucet should no longer leak. You can turn the water back on and run your faucet. Once the cap is in place, turn the water valve counter clockwise to switch the faucet back on.

Do not say anything to egg them on (including threats, racist words, or sarcastic comments). This could escalate the fight, and your goal is to end the fight altogether. If their friends are there, they could end up using your words against you. Or, if the fight persists, the opponent could end up winning and then those words would come back to haunt you. If their friends or allies join the fight and you are outnumbered, try to run and defend yourself while sprinting off. Keep careful watch on the body language of everyone there, so that you can be ready to react with fast reflexes. Dodge any objects that they may try to throw at you. Call for help if needed. Certain people are just plain cruel, and avoiding them altogether could be the best plan. Steer clear of areas where a bully usually hangs out, and instead find a new route to get where you need to go. You are not cowardly for wanting to avoid confrontation and maintain peace in your life. Do not get carried away in the fight, and never try to cause permanent physical harm to another person. Do not aim for their face, for instance. Do not use objects to fight; simply use your hands to defend yourself. Once you have protected yourself from harm, retreat from the fight. You can certainly use objects as a shield, such as holding up a book to block blows. However, you will lose the respect of your peers if you use such objects against your opponent and the odds become uneven and unfair.

If you are experiencing severe, chronic, or persistent neck pain it is a good idea to discuss this with a medical professional. Your doctor can examine you, assess any other symptoms, and take x-rays to help determine what’s going on. If your doctor thinks you should see a specialist--such as a physical therapist, osteopath, or chiropractor--they can refer you to another physician they trust. Your doctor may recommend using ice or heat therapy. While ice therapy is good for recent injuries, it's best to use it short term. Heat can help relieve chronic pain and muscle tension, so you may want to try a microwaveable neck wrap. A professional massage is an excellent way to reduce stress, release tension, and help your neck feel better. Make an appointment with a massage therapist ahead of time. When you show up for your massage, let the therapist know that your neck is bothering you, so they can focus on that area of your body. You might try:  Swedish massage, for general relaxation and release Deep tissue massage, for deep knots and muscle tension Sports massage, to address injuries A physical therapist will examine your body and evaluate your movements to determine what it going on with your neck. They will guide you through a series of exercises to help strengthen your muscles and address underlying issues. You’ll also be asked to perform some movements at home. It is a good idea to get a referral from your physician for a good physical therapist. Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny needles into specific locations in the body.

It can usually be found between layers 1 - 63, and will be in a vein of 4 - 10 blocks. If you want to make the ingots yourself, you'll need a furnace to smelt the Iron Ore. Place 8 Cobblestone blocks around the edges of the Crafting window to make the furnace. You can use any type of Fuel when making Iron Ingots. Lava Buckets, Coal, and Charcoal make for the most efficient fuels, but you can also use Wood Blocks, any object made from wood (crafting table, chair, etc.), and saplings. After a few moments, an Iron Ingot will appear in the box on the right. Repeat until you have 7 Iron Ingots. More efficient fuel will allow you to craft your ingots much quicker.

Modern water softeners can go without cleaning for 5–10 years. Clean them only if your water has turned hard and the basic maintenance above doesn't fix the problem within a couple days. Older models (especially electric ones) can benefit from an annual cleaning. Use the bypass valve to shut off water intake. Siphon or dump all water out of the tank, then dump out the salt and throw it away.  Keep the waste away from your garden, as salt kills plants. Dissolve blocks or bridges of salt with hot water if needed. Some models have a mesh platform at the base of the brine tank. Set this aside before cleaning. Mix a generous amount of dish soap into one or two gallons (4–8 liters) of water. Pour it into the tank and scrub the entire interior with a long-handled brush. Dump out the soapy water and rinse with plain water. Pour ¼ cup (60 mL) of household bleach and 2–3 gallons (8–11 liters) of water into the tank. Stir and let sit for fifteen minutes to sanitize the tank. Most organisms cannot grow in concentrated brine, but it's a good idea to make sure. Rinse out the bleach thoroughly. If there was a grid in the tank, put it back. Replenish the tank with water and salt as normal. Wait at least a couple hours before regenerating the tank, to give the salt time to dissolve.

TL;DR in English: Schedule the cleaning. Empty the tank. Remove the brine grid from the base of the tank. Scrub with soapy water. Rinse the tank. Clean the tank with bleach. Rinse and refill.

Dice are super simple, but have a whole load of possibilities for games, some of which have unfortunately fallen out of style. You don't need an elaborate game board or an Xbox to play fun games, and there are plenty of games that don't require complex series of bets to enjoy. Learn a few and mix it up. It's also important to distinguish between playing street craps and playing other kinds of dice games, some of which involve betting and some of which don't. If someone asks if you want to "shoot dice," they could be referring to some other game, though craps is the most likely.

TL;DR in English: Learn other dice games.

If she's cramming for a test before the bell rings or having an intense conversation with a friend, it's probably best to wait. Find a time when she's alone and doesn't look like she's in a rush to get anywhere, such as in the cafeteria or after school lets out.  If she's constantly surrounded by friends, don't be afraid to say, “Can I talk to you for a second?” See if you have any common interests. Is she apart of the debate team? You could try it out too as a built-in way to meet her. If there are breaks or club outings, you could try to strike up a conversation during those times. Don't spout off a cheesy pick-up line the second you're face-to-face, but have a general idea about what you're going to say. This can be as general as a question about her day, or you can cut right to the chase and tell her you're interested. Either way, it's great to have an idea going into the conversation so that you aren't faced with awkward silence.  You could say something like, "Hi [name]! Happy it's almost Friday?" If you see her holding a specific textbook or going into a classroom, you could ask her about that. "Hey [name], you have history with Mr. Smith? I heard he's great, do you like him?" A general rule of thumb is to talk to her as if you already know her. This doesn't mean you should act like you're best friends, but don't act like you're talking to your teacher or principal. Say something like, "Hey [her name], how's your week going so far?" rather than, "Hello [name], how are you today?" . Even if you've planned out a perfect opener and have a great idea about what you want to talk to her about, you need to also convey confidence with your body language. Keep your head up, and make eye contact with her. Make sure you're standing up straight, and take a wide stance so that you look secure in your space. Take care not to wring your hands or nervously fiddle with your clothes or backpack.  If you feel nervous, that's perfectly normal. The trick is simply not letting it show. It sounds silly, but practice your...

Learn some basic jewelry making skills and techniques. Assemble your required materials. Practice the technique before you make the real thing.

The formula for the surface area of any prism is SA=2B+Ph{\displaystyle SA=2B+Ph}, where SA{\displaystyle SA} equals the surface area, B{\displaystyle B} equals the area of the base, P{\displaystyle P} equals the perimeter of the base, and h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the prism. In order for this method to work you must know the surface area of the prism, as well as the area of the triangular base, and the length of all three sides of the base. If you do not know the surface area, this method will not work. For example, if you know the surface area is 1460 square centimeters, your formula will look like this:1460=2B+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2B+Ph} To find the area, you need to know the length of the triangle’s base and the height of the triangle. Use the formula A=12(b)(h){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(b)(h)}. To find the area of a triangle.  Alternatively, if you know the length of all three sides of a triangle, you can find the area using Heron’s formula.  Read Calculate the Area of a Triangle for complete instructions. For example, if the base of the triangle is 8 centimeters, and the height of the triangle is 4 centimeters, to find the area you would calculate:A=12(8)(4){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(8)(4)}A=12(32){\displaystyle A={\frac {1}{2}}(32)}A=16{\displaystyle A=16} Make sure you are substituting for the letter B{\displaystyle B}. For example, if you found the area of the base to be 16, your formula will look like this:1460=2(16)+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=2(16)+Ph}1460=32+Ph{\displaystyle 1460=32+Ph} To find the perimeter of a triangle, add up the length of all three sides. For example, if the base is a triangle has three sides with lengths of 8, 4, and 9 centimeters, to find the perimeter you would calculate:P=8+4+9{\displaystyle P=8+4+9}P=21{\displaystyle P=21} Make sure you are substituting for the letter P{\displaystyle P}. For example, if you found the perimeter of the base to be 21, your formula will look like this:1460=32+21h{\displaystyle 1460=32+21h} This will give you the height of...

This experiment will use the reflection of light on objects to show how light moves in a straight line. You need to conduct this experiment with someone else, as one person will hold the flashlight and one person will hold the mirror. You will need the following supplies:  Two to three sheets of black paper. A flashlight. A small mirror. Small objects like buttons, bottle caps, or dimes. Lay the black paper down on the ground in a lowly lit room or, if possible, a dark room. Then, place two to three small objects in the center of the paper. The person with the flashlight will sit in front of the objects with her back to the objects.The other person will hold the small mirror so it is facing the objects. The person will then turn on the flashlight so it is shining away from the objects.  The other person will use the small mirror to reflect the flashlight so it hits the objects. Move close to the light, at an angle, to catch the light so it hits the objects. You may need to position more than one mirror to create a light path that shines on the objects. Play around with reflecting the light on the mirrors until the light hits the objects. You can also move the objects around the room to create a more complicated light path, using the flashlight as the light source. This experiment shows that light travels in a straight line in the air. But it also bounces off of a reflective surface, like a mirror. The angle of the light as it bounces off the mirror will be the same as the angle of the light as it hits the mirror. The mirror reflects the light and changes its path from a straight line to an angled straight line.

TL;DR in English: Gather your materials. Place the objects on the black paper. Have one person hold the flashlight and one person hold the mirror. Turn on the flashlight.

For an easy transition into jewelry making, visit your local craft store and buy a jewelry making kit. Jewelry making kits provide you with basic supplies and tools that allow you to customize different jewelry pieces and make them all your own. Most kits come with some basic instructions with different jewelry ideas, but you can use your imagination to create whatever kind of jewelry you want.  There are many variations of jewelry making kits depending on what specific kind of jewelry you want to make. For example, there are beading jewelry kits, stringing jewelry kits, and wire jewelry kits, just to name a few. Because there is such a variety in possible pieces of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, earrings), made out of many possible materials (beads, wire, string, resin, paper, etc.), pick out a material and piece of jewelry you want to work on making. Find inspiration by visiting jewelry stores or looking online at social platforms, visual organizational websites, or jewelry retailer websites. Depending on what kind of jewelry you plan to make, you’ll probably need some basic tools to complete your project. Some basic tools all beginners should consider having include:  A variety of pliers – round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, step jaw pliers, bent closing pliers, and nylon jaw pliers A metal ruler that measures both centimeters and inches Wire cutters Practice wire, to practice bending and shaping you wire before you attempt to bend your more expensive wire for your actual project Peg boards for bending wire Handmade jewelry can be crafted with many different kinds of supplies, but there are a few basic supplies that are used on most handmade jewelry pieces. Jewelry kits can provide you with general or project specific supplies, but if you plan to start making jewelry without using a kit, you need to purchase some supplies on your own. Consider buying some:  Beads Jewelry wire in common gauge sizes (18, 20, and 22); 20 gauge is best for beginners Clasps and closures Jump rings In order to determine how...

Most places offer community classes, where you can sign up to take some art lessons. Just know that you will have to invest a bit of money, but it certainly will help. Look for art lessons online, and art videos or DVDs. Many professional artists create instructional DVDs in various mediums, or on drawing in general. Websites with forums like http://www.wetcanvas.com will often have free art lessons, with volunteer teachers who give assignments, critique your work, and help in encouraging ways. Sites like http://how-to-draw-and-paint.com may have a lot of free instruction available, and downloadable e-books, as well as further instruction for sale. "Try before you buy" with online art lessons, some are as good or better than in-person art instruction. You should like the teacher's art, and also enjoy the teacher's style of presentation, to get the most out of an online class. The Artist's Magazine, Pastel Journal, Watercolor Artist, American Artist and others all have excellent articles on how to draw and paint. The more you read, the more you'll understand the many technical terms and different techniques there are to drawing and painting. Learning art is cumulative. It may seem easy, because people who do something well for a long time do it easily, but it's a complex field of study that takes time and effort to master. Patience, practice and study are what really constitutes "talent" - talent is loving the process so much, that you're willing to put up with your mistakes in order to learn how to do it so well, others call you talented. This usually comes at the point they can recognize what you drew for what it is. Look for books on design and composition, take classes in design, study it as much as you do how to draw things accurately. It makes the difference between whether you create great art or just copies of photos. Learn how to crop reference photos, choose which subjects to shoot or sketch in a landscape, guide a viewer's attention in the painting to the most important thing in it - a portrait's...

Most prescriptions have a generic option. These cost much less than name brand medicines, but are essentially the same medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any of your prescriptions can be switched to generic version. Insurance plans often cover more on these as well. There are mail-order pharmacies that you can send your prescriptions to in order to cut costs. These pharmacies take medicines for which you have a long-standing prescriptions and send you a three month supply for the price of one. If you are taking expensive medications for chronic conditions, this can save you a lot of money since you will only pay for four months worth of medication per twelve months. There are certain organizations, such as AARP and AAA, that can offer discounts on prescriptions. There are even certain people who might qualify for free prescription cards through Medicare or other plans. When using a discount card, make sure you find the cheapest price you can on the prescriptions before you use the discount card. Some pharmacies offer lower prices on medications than others. This way, your out of pocket cost is as low as possible. If there are conditions or illnesses that you suffer from that you can use over-the-counter medication for, use those medications instead. Conditions such as chronic allergies or head colds can easily be helped with over the counter medicine instead of expensive prescriptions. If your condition doesn't get any better, see your doctor to make sure nothing serious is wrong.

For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

Seek advice from supportive friends or family. Talk to supportive professionals about your physical transition. Consider seeing a counselor. Connect with the LGBT community.

Take time to decide what type of woman you want to look like. This greatly influences the other steps. How old are you? What is your body type? What kind of style do you want? Envision the woman you will become. You can be classy, provocative, trendy, or even angelic. What you want to look like will change over time, and outfit choices vary from day to day.  Remember to always dress for the occasion and take your daily life into account. If you will be passing as a woman on a regular basis and work in a professional environment, provocative or flashy clothing will not be appropriate. If you’re going out clubbing, wearing more revealing clothes is fine. If you’re passing as a woman for a party or special event, go all out. Be over the top in your clothing choices. Use your close female friends looks for fashion inspiration. Notice what aspects of their outfits you like. Showering is the first step to looking like a woman. So much is done in the shower, including shaving, washing your hair, and getting generally clean. Females are known for having smooth skin, clean and shiny hair, and a clean body, so take your time. You may also need to spend some money on this step.  Buy quality razors to shave with. Cheap razors can irritate skin, and your body hair will grow back quickly. Invest in shampoo and conditioner that smell nicely. Feminine products are scented differently from male products. Get a loofah and body wash. This will help exfoliate your skin and leave it clean and smooth. After you’ve washed your body and shampooed your hair, a close shave is a must for passing as a woman. Use a new razor and take your time. Also, be gentle; you don't want to irritate your skin. Using plenty of shaving cream and razors with three or more blades will keep razor burn to a minimum. If you really want to keep stubble away, you can try waxing, electrolysis, or even permanent laser hair removal, but consult with a professional first.  Shave your entire body, too. If you haven't done this ever or in a while, be prepared to...

Find a comfortable position where you can stay without moving for 20 or more minutes.  Stretch your back before you begin, if you have been sitting all day. Twisting from the waist to the left and right in a seated position or doing yoga cat/cow and child's poses can release tension so that it is easier to focus on the meditation. Relax your shoulders. Lift them up to your ears as you breathe in, then drop them back down. Keep your back very straight. Place your hands in your lap. Zazen meditation suggests that you place your left hand in your right hand, palms up and place your left thumb on top of your right thumb, as if you were cradling an egg. This should make a circle, suggesting infinity and also the unconscious--your non-dominant side being allowed to take over. Some meditators find it difficult to mediate with their eyes open, while some struggle to meditate with their eyes closed because drowsiness becomes too much of a problem. Consider actively focusing on "nothing." Look not at the blank wall, but through the wall. Blink when you need to blink. Most meditation is not more complicated than sitting quietly and breathing, when you get right down to it. Within that simplicity, however, is endless complexity. Begin counting down from 10. You can focus on the counting to get your mind to start calming. If you have more time and this practice is helpful, consider counting down from 50 or 100.  Breathe in deeply for a count of 8 seconds, hold the breath for 2 to 4 seconds, and breathe out over a count of 8 seconds. Repeat this breathing pattern for 2 minutes. Feel the breath coming into your body and going out of your body. Imagine the oxygen filling your body and coursing through your blood. Feel the oxygen come into all the parts of your body, and continue focusing on your breath.

TL;DR in English: Sit on your cushion or chair. Close your eyes or focus them on a blank wall. Focus on your breath.

Continue to reach out to those who trust and have been by your side in the past. Ask them about challenges they have faced in their own lives, and how they overcame them. Show them that you care about what they have to say.   Finding advice and support in person can be reassuring and helpful as you continue to come out and let others know about your gender identity. Understand that even if your friends or family have not personally experienced what it is like to come out as transgender, they may have personal struggles with their own identities.  For example, ask them, "Have you ever faced feeling like you didn't belong or fit in?" Feeling different or misunderstood is something that everyone goes through from time to time in their lives.  Use this as a way to connect with others who feel this way, rather than distance yourself. Many trans people benefit from hormones and/or surgery to help their body match their gender a little more clearly. You may be struggling with what you plan to do both physically and emotionally. Seek advice from experts who have helped others find their path. Talk with your doctor about making physical changes to your body.  This may involve hormone replacement therapy or surgery.  Talk with your doctor about a possible referral to a specialist in these types of medical procedures. Ask, "I am considering transitioning as a man (or woman) and want know about the medical treatments available in this area.  Can you help me or make a referral?" Coming out as transgender can be tough, and the ensuing transition process isn't always easy. A counselor can help you cope with the challenges, and offer advice on handling difficult times. They can also treat anxiety, depression, and other illnesses that trans people can be at risk for.  Some LGBT+ groups have counseling centers, and may offer individual or group therapy. Whether it's online or in-person, there is an LGBT community out there that can help you navigate your coming out process and what feels right for you. You don't have to feel...
